Mexico’s Day of the Dead (D??a de los Muertos) is a chance to delebrate, rather than mourn, the deceased. ?While the celebrations have evolved and may vary from region to region, they’re always full of color and merriment.
According to Mexican tradition, on November 1 and 2, the spirits of the deceased can return to visit their families. ?Day fo the Dead celebrations are held to help guide those spirits to their families. ?In preparation, families clean and decorate gravesites with?ofrendas?(altars). ?These altars include personal trinkets as well as traditional items like sugar skulls.
Families also build altars in their homes to draw spirits there. ?These altars include food, such as tamales, candied pumpkin,?pan de muerto?(bread of the dead), and beverages. ?It’s believed that deceased spirits consume the essence of the food and their families eat the food itself. ?They also leave out pillows and blankets for deceased to rest after their long journey. ?People share happy memories and also write short poems known as?calaveras literararias?(literary skulls). ?These light-hearted speeches can be about the dead or living.
Modern celebrations now include large parades with people dressed as colorful skeletons dancing through the streets. ?And they’ve spread out of Mexico to several major US cities.
